Fabaer-—ughes ACCORDION CouRSE ie Feuer-—Wughes ACCORDION COURSEPREFACE THE PURPOSE OF THIS COURSE IS TO CREATE AND MAINTAIN INTEREST WHILE PROMOTING THOROUGH UNDERSTANDING AND GOOD MUSICIANSHIP. |, Interest is crated iy emphasis on playing tuneful pieces, many of which are * familiar. The student begins to play melodies with the very first lesson. Q,, Thorough understanding is assured by presenting only subjects which can easily * be understood EXAMPLE: First pieces have no time signature. Later, when rhythm and note values are understood, the time signatures are introduced. The student then fills in the missing signatures of earlier pieces. 3, Seed musicienship is promoted by aiving the stucent © chance to thoroughly absorb each new idea before another is introduced. EXAMPLE: The first 31 pages of this book deal only with five treble notes, thus giving the student an opportunity to learn to read these notes fluently. Each new note is then introduced one at a time!
